Min 14: Ethan Nwaneri (EST) swings a ball in to the Annan box...
        ...but the presence of Cleans Up (ANN) means it is easily cleared.

Min 24: Superb sliding block by Cleans Up (ANN) denies Gyokeres a sure goal...
        ...after great work from Ethan Nwaneri in the Annan box.
Min 41: L. Lactis almost penetrates Shire's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
        ... a little more power and David Raya would have lost his well placed foot.?
Min 41: East Stirlingshire break quickly with Maldini Kacurri...
        ...he only has Nortei Nortey to beat...

Min 65: Joshua Butler weaves his way through the Annan defense......
        ...he checks the keeper's position...
